Abstract

The vulnerability to the sexual aggression is felt by everyone, being this a theme that concerns the majority of societies. The increasing propagation of these practices in the universitary environment is concerning, as it is considered a place with various groups of risk. Although not much investigated, sexually aggressive women are present in all the sexual violence contexts. These aggressor's actions should be understood, as well as it should be known, with more specificity, the male suffering as victim of these acts. The present study intends to characterize a sample of these female university students with accountsof sexually aggressive behaviour, trying to perceive the existent beliefes in this population, such as their sociosexuallity levels and understand if psychopathy manifestation exists. This survey, composed by the Sociosexuality Orientation Inventory (SOI), by the Sexually Aggressive Behavior Scale (SABS), by the Escala de Crenças sobre a Violência Sexual (ECVS) and by a sociodemographic survey, was filled by 248 heterosexual female universitary students. Results were found that indicated that 60 (24,2%) of the students demonstrated sexually aggressive behaviour and 188 (75,8%) didn't show this kind of behaviours. Comparing aggressors x non aggressors, significant differences in the sociosexuallity scale and in the Grandioso/Manipulativoand Impulsivo/Irresponsávelwere verified.
